Synopsis "The Political Writings From Alienation and Freedom"

Frantz Fanon's political impact is difficult to overestimate. His anti-colonialist, philosophical and revolutionary writings were among the most influential of the 20th century. The essays, articles and notes published in this volume cover the most politically active period of his life and encapsulate the breadth, depth and urgency of his writings. In particular, they clarify and amplify his much-debated views on violent resistance. These works provide new complexity to our understanding of Fanon and reveal just how relevant his thinking is to the contemporary world and how important his ideas are to changing it.

Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) was born in Fort-de-France, Martinique. He studied medicine in France, becoming the director of the psychiatric hospital in Blida-Joinville (Algeria) in 1953 where he closely collaborated with the Algerian National Liberation Front. Expelled from Algeria in 1957, he settled in Tunisia to work with the Provisional Government of the Algerian Revolution, being appointed ambassador to Ghana in 1960. Among his books are L'an V de la révolution algérienne (1959), Les damnés de la terre (1961) and Pour la révolution africaine (1964).
